I FOUND A SOLUTION TO DRIED ON POLISH SPATTER MARKS
FYI - The spatters from my Turkey weekend polishing marathon (DACP, M IP, M FP) had to this last Sunday to cure and bond - it got to the point where it was taking about 6-8 swipes with a finger nail to remove each one off the glass, let alone in the pebbled bumper & side steps. Alcohol wouldn`t touch `em. Tire Shine wouldn`t touch `em. Elbow Grease wouldn`t touch `em. A brass "tooth brush" would, but it marred the surface.
Polishing spatter marks can easily be removed using a medium stiffness tooth brush and Vinylex. This was an accidental discovery this weekend when I easily removed a couple of spatters when Vinylex-ing some seams/joints unreachable with a terry towel around the rubber/plastic passenger door window. Quick, easy and very little effort required, and as an added bonus, great looking hard and soft rubber/plastic exterior components.
I couldn`t find the Megs Heavy Duty Vinyl/Rubber cleaner recommended by Mike or Lynn at SCG Sorry it wasn`t a Meg`s product, but it worked like a dream for me.
